LINE & SYMMETRY Project #4 - Semester 2

Part 1- LINE w/Symmetrical Balance

• 5 Photos 2 at school and

3 outside school

• Line• Symmetrical

BALANCE

Strong diagonal lines to convey a sense of motion and energy in a photograph, whether it’s a close-up or a wide-angle overview.

#2. SYMMETRY = (Mirror Image) - both sides are exactly the same, and balanced in that way.

SYMMETRY & LINE EXAMPLES

SYMMETRY & LINE -Take 2 photos today at school

& 3 outside of school (5 photos total)

• GO outside or in the hallways and find symmetrical line.

• Think about your angle- high, low, worm’s eye, bird’s eye.

• Depth of field (large/shallow)

Part 2- Line w/Asymmetrical Balance

• 5 Photos (2 at school and 3 outside school)

• line• Asymmetrical

Asymmetrical Balance

• The two sides are not identical, but differ from one another.

• However, the elements are arranged so that there is a sense of balance.

ASSYMETRY & DIAGONAL LINE

ASSYMETRY & DIAGONAL LINE

Part 3- Line and Radial Symmetry

• Any type of balance based on a circle with its design

Radial Line – Symmetry in living things

• 5 Photos (2 at school and 3 outside school)

Man-made/non-livingRadial Line Symmetry

Does having radial line symmetry mean the photo itself has to be symmetrical?

Asymmetrical & Radial

Part 4 – Implied Line

What does “implied” mean?

Defined vs. Implied

What is implied line?

"Implied line" refers to the path that the viewer's eye takes as it follows shapes, colors, and forms along any given path.

What you will be using your photos for! Final Assignment = Mirrored Reflection/Tesselation

How was this achieved?

Start off slow – 4x reflectionsWe’ll be doing this Thursday!!

How many reflections?

• Flip Horizontally

Flip Vertically

Keep Duplicating & flipping

And ….replicating & flipping

FINAL PRODUCT!

More examples

Here the original 4x reflection has been tilled 9 times (a total of 36 repetitions)
